Re: 9.2 story spoilers
Pelagos, once he becomes the Arbiter, will be getting the crown, judging by a datamined model.
Not exactly. The story Blizz is running with is that Sylvanas this whole time really wasn't her entire self, but she still had free will and chose to commit all of the crimes that she committed. If she didn't have control, she wouldn't have been able to have turned against the Jailer at the end of the Sanctum of Domination. It doesn't make a lot of sense, since the Jailer had the good portion of her soul the whole time, but apparently that good portion was also present throughout Sylvanas' time as an undead.

Re: 9.2 story spoilers
There a lot of people who seem to believe that our minds, or personalities or "spirits" are inviolate, as if we simply "are who we are" and all our choices stem from that. But it only takes knowing a good person who has suffered a brain trauma in specific parts of the brain, like a stroke or tumour, or dementia, or even a strong mental trauma, to know that external events can change a person's behaviour radically, through no fault of their own. And even then it's not all-or-nothing: the personality changes can fluctuate, and the person can be aware of their behaviour, and even traumatised by what they've done (this is the most heartbreaking). Our personalities are fragile things, even when we think they're constant.
I see what happened to Sylvanas as the fantasy equivalent of that. Instead of "brain" we have "soul" but the effect is the same.

Re: 9.2 story spoilers
Sylvanas though? She gradually became more and more evil, then became a recurring villain that returned every Saturday morning. After she has a light change of heart in one moment, Blizzard expects us to love her again. One little cosmetic change and a young man telling her that she's dumb as hell, and now she's a good character again. No, just no. Sylvanas and her split soul story is just dumb. Microsoft-Activision-Blizzard expects us to like this change, even though it's so terribly forced and poorly executed. Just because she regained her conscience, we're expected to feel bad for her. Sylvanas' entire character was ruined irreversibly, and no amount of effort that's less than a total lore reboot would redeem her. Just let her die a horrible deserved death, finish Shadowlands, make a 9.5 or pre-expansion patch that quietly shoves the Shadowlands under the rug and puts 100% focus on the new story that's in 10.0, whenever that's coming.

Re: 9.2 story spoilers
I guess the Jailer could have been using the stolen soul fragment to control her and make her behave in a more evil fashion, but her condition doesn't seem to have been like Anduin's, so I'm not sure that could be used as an explanation either. Except that maybe the effects vary a lot with the individual personality.

Also: a neverending chain of beings wishing they could undo a flawed creation. I'm starting to wonder if that's just the chief story designers projecting
